I just noticed the voting system as I was headed to my favorite forum. It seems people can add their own titles to that utterly huge list and we can all vote on which ones we want added the most. Some of the titles I saw as I scrolled through I wasn't even sure if they were released for PC haha! Still, I was wondering if there was any way this could be streamlined?
Like maybe add a way to vote on game companies as a whole instead of just games. Like say I want all of Bullfrog's old games (and thats quite a catalog!). If I voted on them all individually they might never get voted up. Whereas if the company was voted on, and a list of games was there so you could see what you would get if you secured the rights, it would be much easier.
Granted I don't know if GoG buys out rights wholesale from a company, if they have to buy rights at all, or if they just work on making old games compatible one at a time. However it happens I just thought I would bring this up and see what anyone else has to say!

The problem with that idea is knowing with whom the IP rights for your desired classics now lie. That is after all one of the major problems GOG has themselves. So I doubt that gamers are much better informed.

The problem is that people generally don't know which company/publisher currently owns which IP, particularly for obscure or unpopular games. It gets more complicated when different IP from the same developer got sold to different publishers. Recent example: Microprose made both X-COM and Master of Orion. The IPs, however, are owned by two different publishers (2K Games and Atari, respectively).
Usually GOG buy several rights at once from a new publisher. I remember one of the staff told us that GOG secured around 15 games at once when they penned the Activision deal.

Ahhhh I see now. I was thinking that might be the case. Well that is a shame. I've owned a copy of the original Theme Park forever. But I've never been able to make it work properly with dosbox no matter how hard I try. Same with the game Blood. But I downloaded Blood and the GoG version works great! I guess I just wish all my favorite titles were fixed already haha!
Still I think the company idea might still be a good one. It could give focus to GoG when trying to find a pool of games to get. But I suppose if they're scattered to the 4 winds of the corporate underworld that might be a hard thing to do.

The D&D license is actually wholly owned by Hasbro and no one else (TSR started it, they were bought by Wizards of the Coast who was then bought by Hasbro). They basically just lease out the license to different publishers. Those publishers actually have no ownership of the license at all. The problem is, they still own the rights to the games based on the license, but not the D&D license itself, so when their lease on the license expires, they also lose the right to sell the games based on that license. This is why GOG is trying to work with both the original publishers of D&D based games and Hasbro, in the hopes that they can make some kind of mutual deal to get D&D games on GOG.
